The catechism in pictures is an exceptional educational work in the teaching of the Catholic faith. The first edition in English dates from 1912, but it is a translated version of the original French edition of 1908. A nun signed this copy on July 31, 1938, 80 years ago! The catechism today is a very thick book that is not very convenient for reading. If this book is easy for a child to read, then you will enjoy seeing and reading its content. You can download it in full by accessing the album that contains all these images. Good reading !

VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

An atempt at making a large (well reasonably) sized Command Wolf. It wasn't very stable and I kinda got bored so gave up with it.
CAMP SAMOUD, Kuwait – Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) raced against the clock as they ran, jumped, climbed and waded their way through an obstacle course at the Kuwait National Guard’s headquarters in Camp Samoud, Kuwait.
The Dec. 18 competition featured two six-man teams from the 143d ESC and six teams from the Kuwait National Guard. Soldiers from both nationalities donned helmets and slung M4 carbines around their backs.
The war fighting equipment added an extra layer of complexity and realism as the men navigated through the quarter-mile path lined with logs, walls, ropes, ladders, monkey bars and a shallow pool.
The 143d ESC led the way when one of its teams volunteered to attack the course first. The six Soldiers set the pace for their Kuwaiti counterparts with a time of 3 minutes, 16 seconds. The second team brought the inaugural event to a close when its fifth man crossed the finish line at 4 minutes, 20 seconds.
Regardless when and how he crossed the finished line, every American Soldier received a gift bag courtesy of the Kuwait National Guard.
The race sprouted from the collaborative partnership between the 143d ESC’s civil affairs section and the Kuwait National Guard’s special event coordinators. Both parties plan to host a variety of contests between the Kuwaitis and the U.S. military to include team sports, physical fitness challenges and shooting competitions.

About the M577 Command Post Carrier:
A variant of the long lived M113 APC, the -577 is at its most basic an M113 with a raised rear roofline. First introduced in the early 60s as a command post vehicle it has also been used in other roles such as an armored ambulance, medical treatment vehicle, and fire direction center.
Equipment for the M577 typically includes a tent extension that can be attached for additional work space, hand cranked antenna for long range communication, and an externally mounted auxiliary power unit capable of providing power for two M577s.
Crew typically consists of 5 including a driver, commander, and appropriate staff. While typically not armed, it was not unusual to see the addition of a .50 cal for the commander’s position.

On April 18th of 2015, my hometown of Ermelo (The Netherlands), celebrated its 70th anniversary year of the liberation from occupation by Nazi Germany during the Second World War.
On this exact day, seventy years ago, Canadian soldiers came into town via the Putterweg, hit a roadblock and met with some German resistance.
Today, festivities included a re-enactment of the fighting and liberation, in which cadets of the Royal Military School (the KMS in Ermelo) were dressed in period-accurate Canadian uniforms and ran through the Putterweg, guns blazing.
There was lots of music, a static show of military vehicles and demonstrations of armaments and equipment by our own armed forces; the 400th Medical Battalion (400 GNKBAT), 45th Mechanized Infantry Battalion (45 PAINFBAT RIOG), Communications (Regiment Verbindingstroepen) and one of the Engineering Battalions (Genie).

On March 6, 2017, FDNY launched its first ever tethered drone to respond to a fire in a 6-story building on Crotona Park North in the Bronx.
The $85,000 FDNY tethered drone weighs 8 pounds and incorporates both a high-definition camera and infrared camera. These capabilities allow the drone to transmit live images of a fire operation to the Chief in charge of the incident. The drone’s camera allows Chiefs at the command post to see where Firefighters are operating on the roof of a building and to make decisions to help suppress the fire and keep FDNY members safe. The image is fed directly to the Incident Commander and is also shared with senior decision makers in the Fire Department through the FDNY Operations Center.
"We deployed the drone for the first time in support of a 4th alarm fire in the Bronx,” says FDNY Director of FDNY Operations Center, Timothy Herlocker. “We were able to get a good view of the roof, which allowed the Incident Commander on the ground to view the Firefighters as they were conducting roof operations, venting the roof and putting water on the fire."
“This fire was helped by our drone, said Deputy Assistant Chief Dan Donoghue, the incident commander at the 4th alarm fire. “The roof started to fail and we had a lot of great radio reports but that’s only verbal, so with the drone we had good visual pictures and it really helped us make decisions to put this fire out and keep our members safe.”
The FDNY drone is tethered using a small cable that carries electricity up to the device, which gives the drone an unlimited flight time. The drone can stay aloft for as long as necessary to keep an aerial view on the target. All controls, data, and power transmit back and forth through the tether preventing interference with radio frequency signals. The drone is piloted by specially trained FDNY Firefighters from the Department’s Command Tactical Unit. The Department currently has three drones in its fleet to deploy as needed.
“This new technology is going to make a positive impact in our fire operations,” said Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro. “The drone’s camera gives our Chiefs a view they never had before. It’s an important tool that will make our members, and the people we protect, even safer.”
FDNY works closely with the FAA to ensure the drone operates safely and adheres to all rules and policies regarding airspace in New York City. The Fire Department Operations Center contacts the FAA prior to flying the drone for permission to deploy at night, or into FAA Class B Air Space - the FAA’s most restricted air space. Approval takes approximately ten minutes and takes place while the drone and its operators are responding to a fire.
